Revamped Maracanã full for its World Cup debut

The Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro underwent a major reconstruction ahead of the 2014 World Cup, changing from a two-tier structure to a one-tier bowl and having its concrete roof replaced by fibreglass. Though the stadium once held 200,000 people for the final game of the 1950 World Cup, its new capacity is 78,838 and this picture is taken from the first 2014 World Cup game played there: Argentina 2-1 Bosnia.
